Blue Horizon
Asociatia Voluntariat Pentru Viata
Marasesti, Romania
Description
The primary objective of the project is to foster the participation of children and young individuals in community affairs while supporting endeavors that advance active citizenship, sustainable development, and non-formal education. The initiative engages 12 ESC volunteers, who will assist in facilitating community mini-projects initiated voluntarily by children and young people, with guidance from the ESC volunteers. Recognizing the significance of civic engagement among children and youth within their communities, the project seeks to nurture their development as future adults while also contributing to the broader societal fabric, which often grapples with passivity and a dearth of civic involvement. The project operates on the premise that active participation is best cultivated through practical engagement rather than mere instruction in norms and rules. Thus, the emphasis is on hands-on involvement within the community.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteers will live in rented flats, fully equipped, in Mărășești, in shared bedrooms (2 volunteers will share a room), individual beds, with common area, shared cooking, washing, free Wi-Fi included. Food: Volunteers will receive a monthly food allowance of 150 Euro and a monthly allowance of 120 Euro in form of pocket money. Transport: Volunteers are responsible for arranging their travel. Travel costs will be reimbursed according to the distance band limits imposed by the European Commission.
Training during the activity
Volunteers will receive mentorship sessions throughout the project and Romanian language classes. They will receive ongoing support from activity coordinators, teachers and staff of our organization.
